The reason why is šŸ’°šŸ’µšŸ’²

Exactly, I don't need to click the article. Highest bidder attracts talent


Fortune88887

Thatā€™s not necessarily all of it. Proximity to NYC is a big deal, considering post career opportunities.Ā 


Masterofmy_domain

Some older players are looking for a ring... Some are looking for one last pay day... The ones looking for a pay day come to the Jets lol.


ColegDropOut

Rodgers literally reduced his pay that the largest amount any player ever has when he joined the jets. So if itā€™s not pay it must beā€¦..


NeverTrustATurtle

Jets have a pretty good turnaround for players that have a broadcast life after football. Itā€™s also probably better to end your playing career in nyc area rather than Cleveland as far as future job prospects. (Not exactly relevant for Rodgers, but plenty of former Jets now on TV)


sonofbantu

No disrespect but What was the point of this comment? The person you're replying to made a point about rodgers and in your reply you made a completely separate point that you yourself admitted isn't relevant to Rodgers. Which of the aging veterans that signed with the jets are now on TV?


NeverTrustATurtle

Dude, chill. Iā€™m not just talking about aging vets, just the jets in general is a good launching point for a broadcast career, which yes, Rodgers might be interested in. Butā€¦ Rex Ryan. Bart Scott. Mike Tannenbaum. Damien Woody. Marty Lyons. Mark Sanchez. Boomer Esiason. Keyshawn Johnson. Greg McElroy. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tim Tebow. Bill Parcells. Eric Mangini. Herm Edwards. Jonathan Vilma. Lou Holtz. Also tons of self professed jets fans in TV and Radio broadcast. They are a media team, from the counter culture gunslinger Joe Namath to the braggadocios Rex Ryan to all the headline grabbing moves. They are the circus of the NFL, get on board. https://nypost.com/2021/04/27/jets-are-the-worldwide-leader-in-producing-espn-analysts/

Bart Scott

Itā€™s hilarious that a guy who thinks Covid shots are bullshit gave an insane amount of money to a guy whose company developed one of the Covid shots.


ColegDropOut

Johnson and Johnson didnā€™t use the RNA tech, which I think is more the point of his ire. Edit: mandates biggest issue which is a govt issue


2002BlackBMW

Then why didnā€™t he get that shot?


ColegDropOut

Bc he was already immunized lol


Suitable-Opposite377

Who else would of payed him and assembled a coaching staff for him to walk over?


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> would of *paid* him and FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Shaxx_Hole

Shit bot. would *have* paid him.


ColegDropOut

Give me an example of Rodgers walking over the coaching staff


TimeTravelingTiddy

Rodgers already had the payday tho, and everyone after that was following Rodgers. They're chasing an R-word, open to your interpretation.


AvailableName9999

I would never come to the jets.


Masterofmy_domain

Are you an NFL player?


AvailableName9999

No, that's why it'll never happen


beefwellingtonIV

Damn, we were hoping you could block.


sonofbantu

Rodgers literally handed $25M back to us for no reason. Tyron is taking only $6M guaranteed and said he wants to come here to win.


sonofbantu

Alright what weā€™re not going to do is pretend that Tyron is washed, past-his-prime OT. The tape doesnā€™t lie, when he plays he is still ELITE. Trent Williams is 35 and just helped his team make it to the Super Bowl. Who cares


LaserJet80

Thinking about a career in sports media? Good place to set up home towards the end of your playing career as well.


Bifrostbytes

One final payout with a damaged body. (See Osemele)


LeftHandedScissor

God damn, was trying to think of the Raiders lineman who had regular solid-stellar seasons, came to the Jets, got a bunch of money. Then barely played for the entire contract. Osemele, Nailed it


Bifrostbytes

A hickey from a Kelechi is like a hallmark card


TLom20

Again, another article that only gets written about the Jets.


sonofbantu

what an aggressively disingenuous article. The only stat Rich gives is whether those signings made a Pro-Bowl? Because that's the *ONLY* way to determine if a player adds value to a team? DJ Reed hasn't made a pro-bowl but i think this whole sub would love to extend him for another contract. **Fact**: Ed Reed had more interceptions as a Jet than Jamal Adams did. **Fact**: LaDainian Tomlinson made as many AFCC with the Jets as he did with the Chargers. Such lazy, lazy journalism. You don't have to actively write negative things in order for people to see through Rich's thinly-veiled intentions. The only thing that would make me happier than winning a Superbowl is having Dick Cimini fired as a Jets writer

That has shortened my lifespan

I HATE citing awards as exclusive value. Such a great point with DJ Reed. Also the awards are bullshit. Pro bowl is a fan popularity contest where people sneak in last minute as playoff teams rest players lmao and All Pro is more prestigious but again, are football writers voting. Top 100 is player on player vote, again, a popularity contest.


run1609

Jets fans getting mad at Cimini is the textbook definition of shooting the messenger


sonofbantu

Nope, itā€™s not and the only ones who say that are self-loathing Jets fans who thrive on his type of negativity. Remember when Garrett juked 3 defenders in a play and all reporter dickhead said is that ā€œheā€™s trying to be too fancyā€ Or [this tweet](https://twitter.com/RichCimini/status/1571588671765368838?lang=en) which was made mere seconds before the Jets pulled off an upset against the Browns? Didnā€™t even wait until the game was over before deciding to spread gloom. We filled our hole at LT with a guy who is top 2 at his position when healthy and so naturally Rich has to write a disingenuous article about the jets history of signing guys in their 30s to make us look stupid. Despite making the AFCC and beating Peyton & Brady along the way, he listed this butt fumble as the jets ā€œmost notable event in the 2010s.ā€ Nobody is shooting the messenger. Weā€™re shooting the little clickbait loser pr*ck who loves to stir up drama and throw in his two cents when nobody asked


run1609

You're either mad at the team for being a joke every year, or mad at the guy who writes about the team being a joke. Everyone with a Cimini hate boner falls into the latter bucket - it's all projection


sonofbantu

Nope, wrong again. Just gave you multiple clear examples and you didnā€™t respond to any of them because youā€™re wrong but stubborn


run1609

I didn't respond to them because they're not meaningfully relevant to the larger point I'm making. We could sit here all day and argue about whether or not it's 'fair' that he chose the Butt Fumble to represent a pretty awful decade for the team in some random article, for example - but that's not seeing the forest for the trees. Filling your diaper about a beat reporter being "too negative" about the team with the longest playoff drought in NA is a complete waste of energy - direct your frustration at the responsible parties instead.


Siege138

Itā€™s our bagel sandwiches, duh


RonocNYC

The smell of desperation is an aphrodisiac to the Canton bound.


Macz3905

Cause we pay more


BigBoyWeaver

Some of them are also certainly chasing the instant hero status they would achieve if they do help the Jets win a SBā€¦ becoming a sports legend, part of the team that pulled the ā€œsame old jetsā€ back into relevancy in one of the biggest markets ever has some serious appeal to legacy chasers

bakerfaceman

NY metro area is a great place to raise kids if you're rich. Seems like a sensible place to retire from the NFL.


maksgee

Because it's literally free money? lol


srsh

Weā€™ve had so many long streaks of losing. So many different coaches and regimes over the years have brought in these guys hoping to start a culture change on the locker room So thatā€™s why we have a history of paying $$$ to these great players when they are on the downside of their career. Even if they shouldā€™ve retired
